SHAZAM. Get Off Your Butt!
I have found, the NY Times is not just for reading early Sunday mornings over coffee so you can “get smart” or learn something “important.” Nope. It’s for relaxing, taking an hour or so for yourself, and maybe even sharing some of the enormous paper with a stranger sitting in the chair next to you. That and finding out about things like Wreckreation Nation.
Oh YEAH. Compliments of today’s NY Times article- here’s The Get Off Your Butt Map. (Yes, I know I am a bit behind the eight-ball. This show is not brand-new. Whatever. Better late than never.) What could be more fun than competing in lawnmower racing, building boats out of cardboard, chucking pumpkins or ski joring in your free time? For real. This guy Dave (the host) has pretty much to coolest job ever. He travels around the country going to and sometimes participating in, these mad events. I just emailed him and told him that I am ready and willing to be his sidekick when he finds he needs one. I will keep you posted when and if he responds.
Besides the above, another thing that I ran across today that I think is just unspeakably cool and I know a million of you already know about; Shazam.
Hold your IPhone 3G up to any random sound/song anywhere and the phone tells you the name of the song, the artist, album name and links you to ITunes.
Is anyone else out there baffled, amazed, confused and absolutely thrilled like me, about the plethora of availability and opportunity of everything to all of us in the USA? Man are we lucky.
